About US
Round River Canada is dedicated to landscape conservation. We achieve this by supporting indigenous communities to design and implement strategies that conserve and restore wildness, build cultural resilience, and support indigenous stewardship of their homelands. Knowledge of place is the bedrock that anchors Round River’s conservation efforts, and we are committed to incorporating all ways of knowing to understand the cultural, ecological and social values of landscapes. We recognize that flourishing wildlife, wildness and wild places are important in and of themselves, and that conservation, to be sustainable, must be tied to the communities most dependent upon these landscapes.
